CAReeves2010 627 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 When a defense sends 3 and flushes the QB out of the pocket, does it really matter? I watched a freshman safety run right by our C and RG and sack Ashford today. Hard to work with that mess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,782 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 It really doesn’t matter with this terrible o-line. The QB’s should be given a pass at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson at qb + triple option and split between the trio 70 rushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are having very very similar issues we’ve had for the last few years with different QB’s. Same issues, different QB’s. Sooooo much of good quarterback play comes from good o-line play. Just average play would be better than what we’ve had. We have many many offensive issues but it starts with the same common dominator we’ve had for the last few years…o-line. Because We’ve had s***ty OL’s in those years, too. Gus shat the bed on OLs. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDob06 457 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I know it would be a stop gap, but Will Friend should be fired tonight. He inherited a mess, but hasn't done a damn thing recruiting or coaching wise to fix it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyAU 3,745 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I guess they are afraid to play Calzada because our OL would help him reinjure that shoulder. Better get a long snapper and put Robby in a 10 yard shotgun so he can get off a pass once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-0 479 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 As bad as our O-line is at blocking and protecting the QB I would start Ashford and hope you can get something going with the running game. Limit passing to screens, slants, and short passes with an occasional shot down the field. Our O-line can't seem to give any QB any protection at all. It is what it is.

Dual-Threat Rigby 9,046 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 They may not all have the same level of secondary play, but Ark, LSU, MSU, UA and UGA can all mirror what Penn St did with the pass rush (most of that list can do MUCH better) You might as well see what Robert looks like with a full gameplan. I still think the kid just makes too many back breaking bad decisions throwing that are overtly whiffs, but asking TJ to do what he did for the first 2 1/2 quarters of this game is asking too much out of anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,782 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) It’s absolutely insane that there are guys on this oline playing this poorly. I mean I watched linemen literally not touch a defensive-lineman today as they went right f-in by them, untouched.
